Stepping out.

STEPPING OUT.

I got lazy to blog again. God, it's June already.

Went to Capers for lunch buffet just now with Vivien, Jesnie, Darryl, lao pan lao ying Shi Yin, Sze Khai and Alden. We ordered half-portions of almost everything on the menu with funny Italian names and then Alden hid the leftovers of his beef lasagne in the tissues. And we went to Hua Ho to buy grapes kia-kia.

Before that, on Tuesday, I went to Char's with Jong Yi and Alisa for this makeover thing, which just turned out to be the the four of us going mad in her house. Char's got the hugest, most overgrown, mutated bunny ever whose name I don't remember.



Speak spit no evil.


Poor Jong Yi only had 2 spoonfuls of rice to eat.




Eating my mom's homemade pizza.


Finally got a photo of Char laughing her maniac laugh after 17238294 tries.


And she drops it all over her skirt.


Char doing what she does best -- eating.


My hairbands.


Sunny hunny dance days? "There's something in the water!"


Char's rabbit. It's huge.








Char has an obsession with turtles.


And kangaroos.




Char showing me her unfinished drawing of the Saint Basil's Cathedral at the Red Square in Moscow, Russia.


The green eye. Pure talent, man.


Alisa curling her eyelashes.


And wiping the mirror OCD-style.














I guess you could call this an "after" photo, even though we didn't really do much to her.
Sorry, I've come to realize that my phone camera quality actually sucks pretty bad. Right now I can't bloody figure out how to edit the videos of Alisa, so that'll have to wait for another time. Help?

Char wants to draw this hideous photo of me with that turtle soft toy. I look really weird and constipated and... sigh.

Bought new mousse for my hair from Winmark 'cause my trusty old bottle of Tresemme is empty and only spitting fumes now. Loreal Paris Studio Line Upward Spiral. The bottle's cool and I even like the name.



I really want to try out Sims 3 but I have separation issues with my Sims 2 family, the Wilders! I love them: Jared, Evangeline, Alexis and my actual real twins Seth and Vanessa which Evangeline gave birth to, and Mirabelle my little white dog. In their huge, gorgeous house (it was originally Malcolm Landgraab's but I evicted him and redecorated it, but nobody has to know that right? Oops) in Bluewater Village. Sigh.



I seem to be sighing a lot...

Argh, I've got a throbbing headache and I think I have a fever. Eat too much liao. Crap, how am I supposed to go to Sports Day on Sunday?

Oh, you know, I realised that most of my post titles start with the letter S or F. It's a bit strange.

WELCOME BACK, YA WEN! You're local! See you on Sunday, MAN.

Spicy pizza.

SPICY PIZZA.

Two words: SIMS 3. Sims 333333. I crashed went to Chai's house with Jong-jong, Char and Kelvin yesterday. And we played Sims 3 because Chai's the kind of evil person who illegally downloads leaked computer games. Not that I mind because I'm obviously going to steal it from him.

SIMS 333333. Excuse me, I'm still on a bit of a high. Kelvin made a gay, dirty old man, pedophile Sim called Gaylord Fokker. Seriously. It was epic. And slightly disturbing. But mostly epic. With a lot of swear words. Kinda like Tenacious D. Man, that was some crazy stuff.

Char, my butt is totally bigger than yours and you know it. I'm so gonna get you back for making me sit in a weird position squashed between you and Kelvin the entire time. God, that was so wrong on so many levels. And for making me fall off the chair multiple times. Grrr.

Because we're such kind souls, I we made Kelvin eat all the spicy pizza. I took the last pepperoni one. I ate half a slice in the time it took Kelvin to eat two. It's like guys inhale their food or something. But you shoulda seen him guzzle the ginger beer afterwards. It gives you gas.

Chai's house has a pink wall. A PINK wall. I want a pink wall ♥. And his awesome Shit Happens poster. I love that poster. It has the power to make me piss myself laughing every time I see it. Strangle Baby Bugs Bunny! Boom boom pow! And Powerthirst! 400 babies! As fast as Kenyans!





Okay, enough. Control yourself, Stella.

So, we were reading old copies of Media Pertama newspaper in Malay class ('cause Cikgu Chong likes wasting periods. Again, not that I mind.) and I instinctly flipped to the Sports section of mine. And there was a huge half-page colour photo of Hamilton's car with some stupid caption. I almost had an aneurysm. Then I grabbed Char's paper... and it had a huge photo of Button's car. Minor heart attack. Then I took Jong Yi's paper... and finally, finally! A photo of Kimi's car. Sinks happily back into chair with smile on face. I don't remember the captions though. My Malay sucks. Polis Filipina tidak tahu tembak dengan betul?

My English marks were pretty damn awesome. Although not as awesome as some people, for the first time in a long time. But then I forgot to get the parent's signature for them and Mrs Manik said she's gonna minus my marks and blah, and well, you know what? Just can it.



Paper 1. 42/60.


Paper 2. 43/50
POA suckeddd. 17/30. And that's only for multiple choice. I can't even choose the right answer correctly! And eenie-meenie-mynie-moe worked for Alden. Oh, just shoot me.



I have so much undone corrections when what I really want to do is finish The Undomestic Goddess so I can start reading Queen of Babble Gets Hitched and watch Titanic. And go to the buffet at Capers so I can stuff my face watch Jesnie and Darryl stuff their faces.





Thank you Molly and Char.
I should really finish my white with pink stripes pedicure.

(Written on Wednesday, 12/11 or Thursday, 13/11… whichever way you wanna look at it)

It’s 3.45 am and I’m dead bored. My body refuses to feel sleepy. And I just realized I was planning to call Mun a half hour ago but now it’s kinda too late. Rats. I like after-midnight phone rates.

So, I might be going to Empire on Sunday. We (my class) are planning on basking in the wonders of Sunday Splash (a.k.a. telanjangness) then watching a movie. Sort of a last-thing-we-do-together-as-a-class thing. I think the movie’s gonna be Madagascar (crap).

Oh, so I was playing TS2 today, and I just remembered that little thing called Career Rewards. So I got this uber-cool bookcase courtesy of my wife/mom Evangeline who’s in Education.
Get this: the bookcase lets you study all the 7 skills instead of just the conventional 3, and it only takes 1 Sim hour to gain a skill point. With the help of a Thinking Cap, of course. I can’t believe I didn’t get the stupid bookcase earlier.
Remind me next time that Education is a stellar career for a Sim. Regular hours, good pay, few work days, less skills required and great benefits.

I still haven’t decided what I want to “buy” in exchange for my Echelon House donation. You’d think I’d have gotten used to my indecisiveness by now. I feel like changing my mind about those badges. I hope Lily’s understanding. She’s basically the one who runs the whole thing.
And oh oh, the Echelon House got a mention in the Habitat For Humanity Autumn newsletter. Yay, more press. And they got the name 30 Seconds To Mars correct. They usually fail at that. Tsk.

Anyway, I’m gonna start the countdown. 10 more days till I’m outta this country! Whoopee! Mere words cannot express how much I want that day to come.

But before November 23rd, I need to:
- Clear out all my old books and papers and crap (a task which I am not looking forward to),
- Cross-stitch meself some phone charms (if I could only find that darn needle),
- Stick a freaking glyph on my bedroom door (do you think double-sided tape would do the trick?),
- Buy a Seventeen magazine (a throwdown between this month’s issue and December’s),
- Leech songs from Mun (too lazy to download them myself),
- Have one last Coffee Bean Ice Blended (and preferably also some cake…),
- Play Sims till I go wacko (because I can),
- Make my effing HFH donation! (my dad’s telling me my — fat — sister maxed out the credit card)

Oh, and btw, happy birthday Ya Wen. You crazy, sarcastic, funny, ebiill, Formula 1 and MCR-loving, stupid joke-making, pink-hating, smarty-pants who likes elbowing people in the ribs.
Have a good one, Miss I’m-now-a-decade-and-a-half-old.

… Aren’t I just so nice and considerate? xD

I like to move it, move it.

I LIKE TO MOVE IT, MOVE IT.

Went to Mall on Sunday with Munibah and si Duan (menghayal). We watched Madagascar 2 which turned out to be stupidly hilarious.

There was a whole rombongan of annoying little kiddies watching it too. And to make matters even better (not), we were forced to sit in row L. For those who seldom go to the cinema, that’s the row at the very front, nearest to the screen. I had to crane my neck just to be able to see the bottom half of the screen.

Oh well, at least no one kicked the back of my chair or spilt their drink on me and there were those metal bars for me to put my legs up on. Good enough for me, since the movie was free.

Then I slept over at Mun’s because we both have nothing better to do. She made me watch Titanic with her… again. I’m sorry, but watching a frostbitten Leonardo DiCaprio die over and over again gets a bit old after some time.
“Jack, come back, come back!”

And… I wanna buy a new phone! A pink one. Nokia. I’m sick of Samsung. They’re pretty, yeah, but stupid.


Behold, the 6120! Only B$300 xP

I was thinking of buying this month’s Seventeen magazine until I saw who’s on the cover. Ashley Tisdale. Nuh-uh, Miley Cyrus I can stand but not Ashley Tisdale.

I finally got some quality time with my Simmies ^^ I think something wack is going on with it though.
- Neighbours (2 in particular) keep popping up in random places in my house and then mysteriously disappearing.
- My family's teenage daughter Alexis brought home a toddler(!) from school.
- My family’s wife/mom Evangeline brought home some really pregnant lady from work. I didn’t think there was anything wrong with that until I realized pregnant women don’t go to work.

And in other news…
- Every one of my 8 tomato plants didn't survive the winter and died before I could harvest them *le pout*
- My pet dog Mirabelle now goes to work in a limo.
- Social services took away my family's twin kids Seth and Vanessa after they accidentally froze to death making snowmen. This was followed by me not saving my game.
- And my dog makes almost as much money as my family's husband/father Luke. Remind me next time that a career in medicine is a sucky choice for a Sim.

I think I have a picture of my Sim house around here somewhere. It was Malcolm Landgraab’s mansion in Bluewater Village. That is, until I decided I wanted it so I evicted him, remodelled it and moved my family in.

Laziness.

LAZINESS.

The 2008 MTV Europe Music Awards is tomorrow in Liverpool. Or actually early Friday morning our time if you count the time difference (I’ve become a leading expert in time zones lately). And I’m a nervous wreck waiting for it.

God, I wish I could watch the live streaming on the EMAs website and I wanted to vote a lot more (though I have utmost faith in those who did vote) but nuuu, I don’t have internet. Hmpf. It’s times like this when that really sucks.
Actually, no… it pretty much always sucks.

Thank God MTV Asia is premiering the show on Friday, or else I would die. But it’s already old news to us that MTV loves to ‘edit’ their awards shows, a.k.a. remove all the fun parts, before airing them. Idiots.

30 Seconds To Mars is going against Metallica, Linkin Park, Paramore and Slipknot for Rock Out and Madonna, Snoop Dogg, Weezer and Santogold for Video Star. They're also going to be hosting the VIP bar. Haha. That should be fun to watch.
So yeah, I’m pretty excited and restless from the anticipation. Rock Out two years in a row would be nice.

I’ve decided to donate £10 to The House That The Echelon Built (or the houses that the Echelon is building) / the Echelon House (or houses). I guess when Lily named it, she thought there’d only be 1, not 8 and counting. That’s almost £10,000 (about B$30,000) in total funds raised, all thanks to the Echelon.

I wanna donate more, but my parents will grumble about wasting money. Seriously. Wasting. I personally don’t consider donating money to a non-profit organization to build houses for the homeless and extremely poor as ‘wasting’. It’s called charity for God’s sake.

Anywho, I’m ‘buying’ these two promotional badges in exchange. So, yay me. xD

Aku na tau what to write. Been such a lazy ass since the exams finished. I’m supposed to be dealing with all my old school-stuff that I won’t be needing anymore but there’s like a freaking truckload of it. And I’m not exactly enthusiastic about it.

I was also planning to sew — yes, sew — 30STM phone charms, but I haven’t even started. Yet. Maybe I should make a whole bunch and let them be ‘sold’ (or actually give them away) in exchange for donations to the Echelon House. I think that’d be nice.

And I haven’t even gotten a chance to play Sims 2. At all. Boo hoo.
I’ve been really pre-occupied. I just don’t know with what. I think I’ve been spending a lot of time thinking. Mostly thinking about what I should buy in Malaysia next month. As in, shopping. Ü
And like, wondering about PMB results... :S
